Have eaten 2# of cherries. It didn't go well. Eat 2# of anything never has.

I always enjoy these; you give me food for thought, and since I'm not currently seeing a therapist (but boy I need to), I appreciate the help in finding insight. :) These are dark days we are in. I'm glad you have your sweet angel boy home to bring you some light. I keep meaning to mention--that picture of you and that happy little dog "laughing" together is one of my favorite things, and it brings me joy every time I see it. (My best friends have always been animals, so I can relate.) I am really trying to not let the bastards get me down. xx

Hi Allison

So many good things to read from you today. I have to start with your opening WORDs. Of course I had to read and reread a couple of times. I knew there was a message in there. You are so subtle that way. Which I love. I didn’t get it until I read Adrienne Rich summary. Wow. What an amazing woman. It’s given me lots to consider. A Jewish woman understanding the Palestinian plight. And recognizing racism. She mentions a writing by Toni Morrison that I’d like find.

Anyway, thank you for sharing. I appreciate the time you spend finding special things to share with us.

I love the picture of you with Dolly with her arm around your waist! It must have been an amazing moment to witness her excitement over your work on her exhibition. You know your mom & dad would be so proud of you. I know they are ❤️

I love the Prayer today. I have moved to forgiveness & it’s freeing in a different way. I’m returning to wonderful me again. It’s making a big difference in my life right now. And not a moment too soon. As I walk in the fourth chapter of life now.

Thank you Allison. So enjoyed your offering today. I’m excited for your summer with JH. And I know he’s happy to be home with his momma.

xo 🍒

Wishing you a wonderful summer with your son. Thank you for all you share. I could comment on all of it! Yes, to Something I'm Thinking About, I agree. And I love to hear about your work. They are lucky to have your light around them, as well. The Good Tarot by Colette Baron-Reid, is a nice oracle type daily draw, as well. Here comes June...

Re: order & calm -- it's always a struggle to tidy and organize my apartment, but it really improves my state of mind.
